Listed in 1001 Children's Books You Must Read Before You Grow Up, The Fortunes of Philippa is a lovely example of Angela Brazil’s schoolgirl books, highly popular with readers in the early 1900s but banned by some boarding schools for being a poor influence on the moral standards of the day.
Brazil (rhymes with "dazzle") was among the earliest British writers to write in order to entertain, not to instruct the reader morally, and books like Harry Potter can trace their lineage to Brazil's influence. See the Smidgen Press blog for more details.
This sweet story, inspired by the life of Brazil’s own mother, will take you back in time to Edwardian England, a time before world wars, a time when children embraced the joy (and mischief!) of life. Reminiscent of Frances Hodgson Burnett’s A Little Princess, you’ll find Philippa’s adventures full of fun and laughter.
Beautifully re-typeset and formatted for modern e-readers, this gorgeous edition will add to the charm of your book collection.
